I Seem to Have a Dilemma

After we move (we will be in california by next monday) I am going to buy some tons of yarn. I’m doing the tilted duster for my cousin in chipolte berroco :) MMMmmmmm tasty. So yeah, that’s on size 10 needles so it’s what? maybe a two week knit for me?

  

 So I’m going to take a plunge and actually buy some yarn for a sweater just for me. Sans pattern. *sings I’m a big girl now* anywho! Yeah, I’ve been playing with this idea in my head for WEEKS.  I love the idea of rusted root and love how fast it was knit up and it’s totally wearable. I also love the puffy sleeved cardi from Fitted Knits, but something’s off about it for me. See when I was younger and thinner I loved old men sweaters. You know, the kind you see professors from the 70′s wearing. The ones with leather elbow patches? Yeah and the belts? OMG. Yeah so a womanly version of that. In TWEED! :)   But I just don’t know what color tweed. I’m instinctively drawn to the orangy red but here are the options. Comment with your color choice! :)

    

My instinct is on the first or third. I am totally in a green kick right now & love #2 but #4 is always safe, though not very bright.

Your Little Dog TOO!

Dinner in Cleveland’s version of Little Italy last night was fabulous. Course it makes sense that my Brooklyn native cousin found the best restaurant ever :) We both agree that it is comparable with anything in the REAL little Italy. Also, peaches in tripple sec? THERE IS A GOD! :) what a lovely little desert that was!

 Also, because my cousin seems to think that I am a knitting goddess she asked me to knit some dog sweaters for her little man.  So she sent one with me last night when we left. Looking at the construction, this is going to be cool. Basically it’s one big swatch, which means I finally have something to cable & use sticktonaries on!!! :) Crazy ass bobbles here I come! The best part is that they take so little yarn too. So that should be fun. She wants me to sell them to her Chihuaha group so who knows, either way the Toadster will have some great new threads :)

On an unrelated note, there are lots of weird strange men in my house, touching all my things. I don’t know why I worried about the movers judging my house. I don’t know what I expected but when 6 men showed up with collectively 20 teeth & 4 sleeves between them I suddenly didn’t worry that my groute hadn’t been scrubbed.  Honestly, they are all very nice & almost fell over themselves with gratitude for the coke, moutain dew, & water in the fridge.  So in 30 minutes I will be ordering them pizza.
